Hunger doesn’t end at Thanksgiving. That’s why we are extending our holiday giving program through Christmas Eve with Santa Bucks.

It’s time to spread cheer to those around us through the gift of giving. Unfortunately, not every family has the privilege of sitting in front of a full dinner table during the holidays. In the United States alone, 1 in 8 people struggle with hunger. Albertsons has partnered with local food banks and charitable organizations in our communities to help support thousands of families in need.

And now, we are inviting you to help make a difference.

Visit your local Albertsons store and ask about Santa Bucks today! We are asking for $1, $5 and $10 tax-exempt donations, but custom amount donations are happily accepted. Every donation counts, and your generous contribution will truly make a difference for a family in need.

Last year, your donations provided nearly 3,400 meals for local families. As the need continues to grow, we look forward to helping more families this year.

Help spread awareness by letting your friends and family know about Santa Bucks via social media. Share our posts on Facebook and Twitter to help support local families this holiday season!

It’s true that many children wake up Christmas morning without gifts under the tree. This is where your help makes all the difference in spreading Christmas joy to local children.

We are asking the local community to band together by dropping off new and unopened toys and books at any Treasure Valley Albertsons location from Mountain Home to Ontario. Just look for the big white bins between November 25 to December 16! To make things even easier, you can stop by the toy aisle during holiday grocery shopping at Albertsons and purchase a brand new toy to donate.

The mission of Toys for Tots is simple – to shine a ray of hope for less fortunate families during the holidays.

The Coca-Cola® Caravan is visiting the Treasure Valley Nov. 16-20. Not only will you have an opportunity to get your picture taken with Santa and have it emailed directly to you, Coca-Cola® will also be giving away 100 4″ bears at each stop!

Earlier this week, the local media gathered as two lucky winners had a unique opportunity to participate in a shopping spree courtesy of Sparkling Ice. The event took place at the Albertsons store on Vista & Overland in Boise, Idaho, where each contestant had two minutes to pack their carts with hundreds of items ranging from nuts and spices to shrimp and lobster tails. Once all of the items were accounted for, each winner got to take bags upon bags of groceries home for the holidays.

Next up was Albertsons Intermountain Vice President, John Colgrove, and President, Brad Street. Local Store Director and reigning Shopping Spree Champion, Troy Frisch, filled in on Brad Street’s behalf. Troy helped raise roughly $25,000 for local food banks during a similar event with Sparkling Ice last year. The same concept applied to this race, but all of the groceries gathered within two minutes would be donated to the Idaho Foodbank. Nobody knows the store better than these two gentleman, so you knew the competition was going to be fierce. John went first, filling up ten whole carts with cases of tuna, canned foods, and even Barbie dolls (almost everything is fair game when it comes to shopping sprees). The clerk rang up his items with a total of $6,083.77. At the time, it seemed nearly impossible to beat- until Frisch stepped up to the cart.

He grabbed cases of sausage, bags of shrimp, and a huge rib roast, resulting in a whopping 12 carts full of goods. The crowd waiting with bated breath as the items passed through the register. And it happened- a total of $8,316.91 and a second straight victory for Frisch. The best part of the story is that a grand total of $14,400.68 worth of groceries went directly to the Idaho Foodbank after the event.

But wait, there’s more.

The “non-winner” had to fork over an additional $500 to the cause. If you’re following along, we’re now at $14,900.68.

But wait, there’s even more?

Sparkling Ice surprised everyone with the announcement they would match the total amount raised, adding an additional $14,900.68. All-in-all, that’s $29,801.36 worth of groceries going to local families in need!

It was a day to remember, with full hearts and smiles all around. And we haven’t even reached the holidays yet.

The Holiday season is rapidly approaching, and it’s time to spread cheer to those around us through the gift of giving. Unfortunately, not every family has the privilege of sitting in front of a full dinner table at Thanksgiving. In the United States alone, 1 in 8 people struggle with hunger. Albertsons has partnered with local food banks and charitable organizations in our communities to help support thousands of families in need.

And now, we are inviting you to help make a difference.

Visit your local Albertsons store and ask about Turkey Bucks today! We are asking for $1, $5 and $10 tax-exempt donations, but custom amount donations are happily accepted. Every donation counts, and your generous contribution will truly make a difference for a family in need.

Last year, your willingness to give resulted in 17,124 meals for local families. Sadly, the need continues to grow, so we are aiming for over 20,000 meals this year.
